Could this new device get you out of a spot of bother?

Neutrogena have launched a futuristic device that could mean spots are a thing of the past

Acne. It's not glamorous but we need to talk about it. Sadly not something we can leave behind in our teens, adult acne is on the rise – and even if you're not a severe sufferer, we all know the damage a minor outbreak can do your confidence.

Luckily Neutrogena has launched this amazing new mask. Think beyond sheet masks, setting or even peel-off options – this Stormtrooper-esque device is straight from the future.

It features blue and red light therapy – something you may have already experienced if you've been lucky enough to enjoy a fancy spa facial. The blue light treats the acne-causing bacteria and the red light helps combat the signs of aging and reduces inflammation. The reason you may have tried this is because dermatologists have used it for years, but it's taken a while for at-home devices to reach us, especially at an affordable price.

The Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Mask is different for a start because it currently costs just £59.99 from www.boots.com

Secondly, the reviews are amazing. You only need to use this mask for ten minutes a day to help treat existing breakouts and targeting problem areas before they appear.

Clinical studies have shown an improvement to skin in as little as one week and 98% of suffers saw improvements after 12 weeks.

Unsurprisingly, celebrities such as Jessica Alba have tried these types of Light Therapy Masks, which inspired me to give it a go. I had a few spots about to rear their ugly heads and I wanted to take action before my heavy-duty foundation had to do its worst. Did it work? Yes!

I love how easy it is to use and how quick it is. Having said that, it's great to take some time out and a little R&R was well needed. Neutrogena have obviously had the same thought as it's just partnered with Aura to offer 90 days of free 10 minute mindfulness sessions - meaning you can clear your mind & work on your skin at the same time.
